Your lives are busy enough doing homework, playing sports, making friends, seeking after your dreams. But we do think that you can live a more powerful life when you devote some of your time and energy to something much larger than yourself. Find an issue you are interested in and learn more. Volunteer or, if you can, contribute a little money to a cause. Whatever you do, don’t be a bystander. Get involved. You may have the opportunity to make your biggest difference when you’re older. But why not start now?Our own experience working together on health, development, and energy the last twenty years has been one of the most rewarding parts of our lives. It has changed who we are and continues to fuel our optimism about how much the lives of the poorest people will improve in the years ahead.21.What does the underlined part in Paragraph 2 refer to?A.Your life style. B.Your life value.C.Your trouble in life. D.Your life experience.22.Why does the author say they are inspired every day?A.They possess different kinds of superpowers.B.They have got the power to change the world.C.Some people around them are making the world better.D.There are many powerful people in their life and work.23.What does the author stress in Paragraph 5?A.Learning more and contributing more to a cause.B.Rising above self and acting to help others.C.Working hard to get a bigger opportunity.D.Trying your best to help the poor.B I was driving down the road the other day, listening to sweet music coming out of my car radio. My heart felt peaceful, my mind was clear, and my soul was full of love. Even with all its problems: life seemed good. Then the music stopped and the news came on. There was talk of another famous millionaire in drug rehab (康复) after an incident with the police. There was news on the murder of a poor man whose life was supposed to be changed after winning the lottery. There was even a discussion on how much greed and excess (放肆) had damaged our world.Every story seemed to point once again to the old saying that money can't buy happiness. Hearing them made me think of a movie I saw many years ago on Mother Teresa's home for the dying in India. What struck me most when I watched it wasn't the unbearable poverty there. It wasn't the sickness and suffering that the people there were going through. It was rather the peaceful smiles of love, kindness, and happiness that they shared with the Sisters and with each other. These people had nothing. Many were struggling at the end of death. Yet, they knew the simple truth that so many of us here are still learning: Joy is Free.We can have joy and spread joy every day of our life here. Don't love or admire dollar signs and think that money will bring you happiness then. Joy can't be purchased. It can't be owned. It can only be chosen and then given freely to others. In the eyes of eternity (永恒), money is only worthless paper. The only thing that matters is the love within you and the love that you give to the world. Make that your legacy (遗产) and your life will forever be rich in joy.24.According to the first paragraph, we can know that______.A.the author was very lighthearted that dayB.the poor man's life was improved greatly due to the lotteryC.the author has a habit of driving while listening to musicD.the millionaire was put in prison for taking drugs25.All the information about the movie mentioned in Paragraph 2 is true EXCEPT______.A.it was about Mother Teresa's contributionsB.it left the author a deep impressionC.people in it were very kind and happyD.people in it were extremely poor and suffering26.By saying "Make that your legacy", the author means "______".A.Give your fortune to your coming generationsB.Treat your fortune as very valuable thingsC.Pass your joy on to your coming generations2D.Have joy and spread joy to people around you27.Which section of a newspaper is this passage most probably taken from?A.Business. B.Culture.C.Life. D.Entertainment.C When you start working on something but don’t finish it, thoughts of the unfinished work continue to jump into your mind even when you’ve moved on to other things. Psychologists refer to this psychological phenomenon as the Zeigarnik effect. The effect was first observed by a Russian psychologist named Bluma Zeigarnik. While sitting in a busy restaurant in Vienna, she noted the waiters had better memories of unpaid orders. Once the bill was paid, however, the waiters had difficulty remembering the exact details of the orders.In one of her studies, participants were asked to complete simple tasks such as putting together puzzles, or solving math problems. Half of the participants were interrupted halfway through these tasks. After an hour-long delay, Zeigarnik asked the participants to give an account of what they’d been working on. She discovered that those who had their work interrupted were twice as likely to remember what they had been doing as those who had actually completed the tasks.We can use this effect to our advantage. For example, if you’re struggling to memorize something important, momentary interruptions might actually work to your advantage. Rather than simply remember the information over and over again, review it several times and then take a break. While you’re focusing on other things, you’ll find yourself mentally returning to the information you were studying.We often put off tasks until the last moment, only completing them in a rush at the last possible moment. Unfortunately, this tendency can lead to heavy stress and even poor performance. One way to overcome this is to put the Zeigarnik effect to work. Start by taking the first step, no matter how small. Once you’ve begun，but not finished your work, you’ll find yourself thinking of the task until, at last, you finish it. You might not finish it all at once, but each small step you take puts you closer to your final goal.28.What does the Zeigarnik effect refer to ?A.Waiters tend to have good memories.B.Once interrupted, one will forget things easily.C.Most people can’t focus on one thing for a long time.D.People remember unfinished tasks better than completed ones.29.What were all the participants required to do in the study?A.Describe their tasks. B.Express their feelings.C.Test their intelligence. D.Design simple activities.30.How should we study according to the Zeigarnik effect?A.Repeat over and over again. B.Divide up our study session.C.Focus on several tasks at a time. D.Have enough rest before studying.31.What’s the main idea of the last paragraph?A.How to get rid of heavy stress.B.Why we should set a final goal.C.How to break the habit of delaying work.D.Why we always complete tasks in a rush.D Artists are continually trying to find creative ways to show their talent. Some, like Iris Scott, paint with their bare fingers. Now Turkish artist Garip Ay has become well-known worldwide by adopting Ebru, an ancient technique that allows him to create amazing paintings on water.Believed to have originated in Central Asia in the 13th century, Ebru made its way to Turkey by the 16th century, where it was perfected. The art form remains popular in Turkey, with many painters using the technique to create attractive pieces, coveted by both collectors and tourists.Ebru artists begin by adding some gum to water to help increase the water's viscosity(黏 度)and prevent it from mixing with the paint. The solution (溶液)is then poured into a wooden container with the same dimensions as the solid surface on which the painting will finally rest. To keep the colors afloat, and improve their ability to spread across the water's surface, some drops of ox bile(胆汁)are mixed in with each color.To create the paintings, the artists first splash(泼洒)the paints on the water using brushes made with horsehair. They then use droppers(滴管)to carefully shape the colors and create the perfect designs. When complete,an absorbent surface, such as paper, is carefully placed on top to get the painting. Once dry, the artwork is flattened and polished by hand.Ebru was initially used for book covers or to decorate the inside pages with wildly colorful papers. However, artists like Ay have added a modern twist by using absorbent fabrics, glass, and wood as solid surfaces.Though Ay has created several amazing paintings since he began using Ebru in 2007, the most famous is his 2016 recreation of Vincent Van Gogh's Starry Night. Those seeking a more modern Ebru creation is pleased to know that in 2017. The artist also painted characters from the popular Netflix series, Stranger Things.32.What does the underline word "coveted" in paragraph 2 probably mean?A.Produced. B.Impressed.C.Desired. D.Learned.33.What is the third paragraph mainly about?A.The preparations for creating Ebru paintings.B.How to mix up water and a variety of colors.C.The whole process of creating Ebru paintings.D.How to spread paints across the water's surface.34.What role does Garip Ay play in Ebru?A.He makes some improvements on it. B.He discovers it in Starry Night.C.He comes up with it and spreads it. D.He adds a traditional twist to it.35.What is the best title for the text?A.Great Artists Create a Lot of Unique PaintingsB.An Ancient Technique Is Used to Paint on WaterC.Painting on Water Becomes Possible EventuallyD.A Turkish Artist Is Famous for His Paintings第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。Stay on the brighter side of lifeOne very important component of optimism is gratitude or feeling grateful. In fact, there is a strong connection between a grateful attitude and a heightened sense of well-being. Appreciate all the positives in your life by starting a gratitude journal in order to remember what you’re grateful for. 36.Feeling down? Instead of feeling sorry for yourself waiting for the universe to throw you a bone, try acting like you’re happy—even if you aren’t. A sincere smile and a forced smile will cause the same chemical reactions in your brain, so you can actually fool your mind into feeling better by making it react chemically as if things were going well. 37. Reassure yourself that everything is good—even if you don’t feel it.“38. If you’re stuck in traffic, then everything else must be going horribly too,” says Anne Parker, a wellness counselor. By blowing negative events out of proportion, you’re setting yourself up for feeling down all day. Instead, acknowledge that you’re stuck in traffic, but also bring to mind something good, like the beautiful scenery outside the window. That way, you’ll get in the habit of forbidding negative circumstances from blanketing your whole day.Swearing to lose 20 pounds or to run a marathon seems like goals leading to happiness, but they take time to achieve.39.You may even end up admitting that you have been defeated. However, if you focus on the small milestones that occur along the way, you will feel positive about your progress, which will give you the strength to keep going.40. Try making someone else’s day better. A report by United Healthcare and Volunteer Match found that volunteers are 72% more likely to characterize themselves as optimistic compared with non-volunteers. Plus, 89% of volunteers say that volunteering has improved their sense of well-being, and 92% say that it enriches their sense of purpose in life.A. Try to help someone in need.B. Want to give your attitude a lift?C. People tend to think in an either-or way.D. Act in an optimistic way—smile, laugh, tell a joke.E. You’ll fail to appreciate more important things in your life.F. By focusing on not having accomplished them yet, you will start to feel down on yourself.G. By remembering the pleasant things in your life, you can actually turn a negative attitude around.第三部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）第一节 完形填空（共20小题；每小题1．5分，满分30分） Another person's enthusiasm was what set me moving toward the success I have achieved.
