Here are three skills that will clarify your vision and bring you closer to your life goals.1: ________________________________________If you live life as the star of your own movie, you'll almost automatically assume that everyone is observing you closely. As the center of your own universe, you naturally believe that you're also the center of everyone else's. The evidence shows that people do not notice us nearly as much as we think they do. When we care a little less about our self-image, we open the door to interacting more genuinely. We can let down our guard. Others may respond in kind, focusing less on their own self-image and opening up. 2: ________________________________________No one feels good all the time and we are not transparent. How do we hold back defensiveness, aggression, or anger? Imagine that your mind contains more than one self. If the self that reasons through the negative experience has a different voice from the one that experienced it, the bad feeling doesn't feel so immediate. The distanced self can give the suffering self the mental space to react to a bad experience less emotionally. We think more clearly and have more control over the way we act.  3: _________________________________________Your own needs and values matter. Knowing how others see you, or what they expect you to be, doesn't mean you have to change anything. You're in control. The challenge is that what we want for ourselves and what others expect of us aren't always well defined. They are, of course, not entirely separate. Unconsciously, we tend to try to live up to the expectations of others, including parents, teachers, and romantic prospects. We become pleasers.  This living business can get tricky, but we need to act on the world as it is.56. What is the correct order of the subtitles?a. Staying true to your own values despite what others expect of you. b. Focusing on other people without dwelling on how they view you.c. Realizing that you don't have to act the way you feel.A. abc B. cba C. bac D. bca 57. What kind of lessons does the author teach us? A. Cultural B. Scientific C. Psychological D. PoliticalBAs Artificial Intelligence（AI） becomes increasingly sophisticated， there are growing concerns that robots could become a threat. This danger can be avoided， according to computer science professor Stuart Russell， if we figure out how to turn human values into a programmable code.Russell argues that as robots take on more complicated tasks， it’s necessary to translate our morals into AI language.For example， if a robot does chores around the house， you wouldn’t want it to put the pet cat in the oven to make dinner for the hungry children. “You would want that robot preloaded with a good set of values，” said Russell.Some robots are already programmed with basic human values. For example， mobile robots have been programmed to keep a comfortable distance from humans. Obviously there are cultural differences， but if you were talking to another person and they came up close in your personal space, you wouldn’t think that’s the kind of thing a properly brought-up person would do.It will be possible to create more sophisticated moral machines， if only we can find a way to set out human values as clear rules.Robots could also learn values from drawing patterns from large sets of data on human behavior. They are dangerous only if programmers are careless.The biggest concern with robots going against human values is that human beings fail to so sufficient testing and they’ve produced a system that will break some kind of taboo（禁忌）.One simple check would be to program a robot to check the correct course of action with a human when presented with an unusual situation.If the robot is unsure whether an animal is suitable for the microwave， it has the opportunity to stop， send out beeps（嘟嘟声）， and ask for directions from a human. If we humans aren’t quite sure about a decision， we go and ask somebody else.The most difficult step in programming values will be deciding exactly what we believe in moral， and how to create a set of ethical rules. But if we come up with an answer， robots could be good for humanity.　58. What does the author say about the threat of robots？　　A. It may constitute a challenge to computer programmers.　　B. It accompanies all machinery involving high technology.　　C. It can be avoided if human values are translated into their language.　　D. It has become an inevitable peril as technology gets more sophisticated.　59. What would we think of a person who invades our personal space according to the author？A. They are aggressive. B. They are outgoing.C. They are ignorant. D. They are ill-bred.　60. How do robots learn human values？　　A. By interacting with humans in everyday life situations.　　B. By following the daily routines of civilized human beings.　　C. By picking up patterns from massive data on human behavior.　　D. By imitating the behavior of property brought-up human beings.　61. What will a well-programmed robot do when facing an unusual situation？　　A. keep a distance from possible dangers.　　B. Stop to seek advice from a human being.　　C. Trigger its built-in alarm system at once.　　D. Do sufficient testing before taking action.CEvery year, you resolve to get more exercise. And every year, you stay stuck on the couch. The American Academy of Neurology is here to help. The experts on brain health are out with new guidelines that say exercising twice a week may help preserve memory and thinking skills in people with mild cognitive impairment.At least 2.4 million Americans are estimated to have mild cognitive impairment, or MCI, and that figure is projected to grow to at least 5.7 million by 2060, according to a report last month in the journal Alzheimer’s and Dementia( 阿尔茨海默病与老年性痴呆). The spread of MCI increases with age. The guidelines say it affects 6.7 % of people aged 60 to 64, 8.4% 0f those aged 65 to 69, 10.1% of people 70 to 74, 14.8% of those 75 to 79, and 25.2% of those 80 to 84.Unlike people with Dementia, those with MCI are able to cope with routine tasks such as getting dressed and preparing meals. But they have more trouble remembering appointments and keeping track of their car keys than other people of their age.Mild cognitive impairment is sometimes — but not always — a way station to Alzheimer’s disease. Since there are no proven treatments Alzheimer’s, doctors are eager to have patients to do what they can to slow its advance. That’s where the exercise advice comes in. in a report published last week in the journal Neurology, an expert panel recommends that people with MCI be sure to work out at least twice a week. The authors of the new clinical guidelines acknowledged that there are no long-term studies to support this advice. But studies that tracked people for six months “suggest a possible benefit of twice-weekly exercise for cognition in MCI,” they wrote. What’s more, “exercise also has general health benefits and generally limited risk.”If the evidence to back exercise sounds thin, consider what the experts said they know for sure: You can’t medicate your way to better brain health, and you can’t count on food to boost your cognitive skills either. In fact, doctors should tell their patients with MCI that “there are no pharmacologic or dietary agents currently shown too have symptomatic cognitive benefit in MCI and that no medications” are approved by the Food and Drug Administration for that purpose, the panel wrote.Sometimes, symptoms can improve by taking fewer medications, the authors said. Cognitive problems can be a side effect of certain drugs, so doctors should keep patients off them if it’s safe to do so, the guidelines suggest. Sleep problems, depression and other medical conditions can also cause mild cognitive impairment. Treating those problems may be an effective way to treat MCI, the experts wrote. Cognitive training may help too, though the evidence for this is weak, they added.The new guidelines don’t include recommendations for specific kind of exercise that would help people with MCI. Short-term studies suggest that both aerobic exercise and resistance training may be useful. 62. Which of the following statements about the new guidelines is true? Exercising twice a week helps preserve memory and thinking skills in people.The spread of MCI influences about a quarter of those aged 80-84.People with dementia are able to handle routine tasks like getting dressed.It’s more difficult for those with MCI to remember dates than people with dementia.63. Which“project” in the following sentences has the same meaning as the underlined “project” in paragraph 2 ?The next edition of the book is projected for publication in March.The experts projected that the unemployment rate would fall the next year.That images are projected onto the surrounding walls amazed us a lot.They sought advice on how to project a more positive image of their company.What the new guidelines exclude is _______.specific kind of exercise for people with MCI.that doctors should keep patients off drugs.that exercise benefits those sufferers.that fewer medicine can improve symptoms.DRoderigo still loved Desdemona and disappointed that she had married Othello. He told Iago, his good friend, that he was thinking about killing himself.“Don’t be stupid,” said Iago. “I will not be your friend if you do…..Look, I hate that black general and I will be pleased if you can take his wife from him. We can help each other take revenge on him.”Iago’s plan was to make Othello think that Cassio and Desdemona were in love.……Iago began to put his plan into action. First,……Cassio was very frustrated because he had lost his good reputation. “ Don’t worry about it,” said Iago. “A good name is not important. People often get good names without earning them and lose them the same way. You often lose your good name if you think you have lost it. Ask the general to forgive you, and you will soon have your good name back.”“If I ask him to change his mind, he’ll tell me that I was drunk. I can’t ask him.”“Every man gets drunk sometimes,” said Iago.Then Iago put the next part of his plan into action. He looked very kindly at Cassio. “I can give you some advice,” he offered. “I think you should ask Desdemona to talk to him. She is your friend, and Othello will listen to her. He will do what she asks.”Cassio thought this was good advice and thanked Iago for it. He didn’t realize this was the next step in Iago’s plan. Iago even asked his wife Emilia to help Cassio speak to Desdemona in private.“Thank you, thank you!” said Cassio. “You’re a very good friend.”Iago smiled and rubbed his hands. The plan was working.Emilia helped Cassio meet with Desdemona. Desdemona agreed to help Cassio become the lieutenant again. She thought it would be difficult to convince the general. As they were speaking, Othello and Iago approached them. Cassio didn’t want to talk to Othello because he still felt badly about being drunk, so he quickly left. Iago, however, made sure that Othello saw him leaving. “Was that Cassio?” asked Othello.“I don’t think so,” lied Iago. “Why would he run away looking guilty?”“I’m quite sure it was him,” replied Othello.Desdemona asked her husband to make Cassio a lieutenant again. Othello, however, was beginning to feel suspicious of Cassio. He said he would think about it. Desdemona kept asking him about it. Othello asked Iago for advice.“Tell me what you think,” said Othello.Iago smiled. He was very clever. He didn’t say that Cassio was a bad man or that Cassio was in love with Desdemona.“I can’t tell you what I think, because it is very bad to steal a person’s good name. A good name is the most important thing a man or woman has,” he said.“Then you don’t need to tell me” said Othello. “I can guess what you are thinking.”“Don’t be jealous, my lord,” said Iago. “If a man’s wife loves another man, it’s better that the man don’t know about it. It’s terrible to doubt your wife’s honesty because you will think about it every day.”“No,” said Othello. “I will never be jealous just because people say good things about my wife. I know she is beautiful and clever. I love her. I must see proof before I believe she loves another man.”“Good,” said Iago. “Then I can tell you what I think. It’s not proof, and therefore, will not make you jealous. I think you should watch your wife closely. The girls of Venice are deceptive. I know them. Remember that she deceived her father to marry you. She is very clever woman even though she is young. You know that yourself!”Othello thought about Iago’s words and began to worry. He thought that Iago knew much more than he was saying. He asked Iago to ask Emilia to watch Desdemona.“Please tell me any news of what she does,” he asked Iago.Iago agreed. He smiled and rubbed his hands. The plan was working.65. What do you think made Cassio lose his good reputation?A. That Cassio got drunkB. That Desdemona was his friendC. That Cassio met Desdemona frequentlyD. That Cassio and Desdemona were in love66. Which of the following is not true?A. Cassio regretted to have been drunk.B. Iago led Othello to Cassio deliberately when he was talking with Desdemona.C. Iago told Othello his real feeling about his wife.D. Othello believed in his wife at first.67. What was the real purpose of Iago’s plan?A. To earn trust from OthelloB. To make Othello think that Cassio and Desdemona were in love.C. To help Cassio get back his good reputation.D. To be revenged on Othello and Cassio.68. Which word of the following can replace the underlined word “deceive”?A. trick B. convince C. suspect D. persuade69. What is the best title for the passage?A. Iago’s plan B. Cassio and Desdemona C. Othello and Desdemona. D. A suspicious husband70. Which of the following can best describe Iago?A. Helpful B. Jealous C.

Many people have spent precious time trying to change someone or something in their lives but in vain. To feel peaceful and live in harmony with the world, all we need to do is change ourselves. When we change, the world around us automatically change. If you desire to live a less stressful life by changing the relationship you have with yourself, here’re some tips to consider. Make an effort to be careful of the ego. The ego, or sense of self, is very fragile. It never wants to see itself as the problem, so it will make you believe nothing is ever your fault. The most important thing to remember is it is only you yourself that give rise to your actions and feelings and you should be responsible for them. The way others behave is their doing, while your reaction to it is your doing.Forgive yourself. When making a mistake, you have two options: you can think a lot about it, or you can recognize it, learn from it and move on. When choosing to learn from our mistakes, we stop being strict with ourselves for making them first. We can move forward with our lives without living in the past. The best thing about forgiving ourselves is that we find it easier forgive others.Point the finger at yourself. When someone makes you angry, use it as an opening to see what part of your ego is being hurt. Every negative situation is a chance for self-awareness, and a chance to choose a more loving reaction.Trying to change the world around us can be difficult. We place the key to our happiness in the behavior of others who may or may not ever change. To get to the root of the problem, turn your attention inward and focus on changing yourself first. You’ll find you notice fewer problems in the outside world when you have made peace with all of the problems inside you.第五部分 书面表达 (满分25分)请阅读下面短文，并按照要求用英语写一篇150词左右的文章。Chinese elements in western mainstream mediaAs China’s presence across the world increases and it forges stronger relations with western nations, more Chinese elements are appearing in western media.

In 2012, The Economist published over 200 reports about China, three times the volume compared with 10 years ago. Meanwhile, the content of coverage also has extended from politics and economy to areas like society, culture and science. When employing Chinese elements, the portrait of Chinese politicians used to be the only choice for the magazine.

The reasons behind the popularity of Chinese elements can be listed as follows. First, the occurrence of Chinese elements in western publications fully reflects the profound influence of Chinese culture on the outside world. Actually, not only have these Chinese elements become a vital source of inspiration for designers, they also have attracted fans all over the world for their unique charm.
