A

“That’s that car!” Benny Correa screamed in their black Cadillac. Earlier, his wife Disley had mentioned a missing 11-year-old girl in Brimfield, not far from their home. The passing car was the same make and model.

Correa took a hard right out of the parking lot and tailed the blue Honda to view the license plate. The driver immediately sped up and blew through a stop sign. Correa shocked his family by following suit.

The Honda pulled around the back of a store. When it came around, Correa caught up and pulled ahead, trying to cut it off. The Honda hit the brakes and jumped a curb (路缘). The Cadillac’s high lights flashed on the driver—a young man with black hair, pulling a hooded sweatshirt up over his face. They saw him forcing a girl’s head down in the back, trying to hide her.

Disley, by then had called 911. “Yes, it’s him!” she yelled. “Knife in hand!”

“Get him, Dad!” his son shouted excitedly.

Correa stayed close behind the Honda, zooming down the road at 100 mph. Soon, he discovered the low-gas light was blinking on the dashboard. Actually, they found out later the suspension had been damaged during the race—was running on heavy smoke. Their car soon sputtered (噼啪) to a stop. The Honda disappeared. But thanks to Disley’s directions, the police had plotted the path the man was taking and set up roadblocks, trapping the car soon.

“It felt like we won the lottery,” Disley says. “The feeling of knowing she’s back with her family because of us is just unexplainable.”

21. What happened to the 11-year old girl?

A. She was controlled by a criminal. B. She was fleeing with the man.

C. She was hidden in the Cadillac. D. She helped to identify the criminal.

22. What can we know about Benny Correa and his family?

A. They finally rescued the victim. B. They risked themselves to help the victim.

C. They once decided to give up in the process. D. They felt it a slim chance to save the victim.

23. Which of the following is the best title of the passage?

A. A thrilling race of the car. B. A timely rescue of the police.

C. A hero action of a brave family. D. An impressive experience of a girl.

B

Advertising in mass media is powerful. Right ads help create demands of products, campaign for political candidates or ideas and historically, even start wars. Detailed files the social media Companies build for each user, however, make advertising even more powerful by enabling advertisers to tailor their messages to individuals. These files even include your family size and whether you buy a lot of beer.

Consequently, social media has greater abilities to expose people to ideas as fast as they’ll individually accept them. The same ticks that can commend products to just the right person or suggest something addictive just when someone is most fragile can also suggest an extreme Conspiracy (阴谋) theory just when he is ready to consider it.

It’s increasingly common for fiends and family to find themselves on opposite sides about important political issues. Many recognize social media as part of the problem, but how are these powerful customized advertising techniques contributing to the divisive landscape?

One important part is that people associated with foreign governments, without admitting that, take extreme positions in social media posts with the deliberate goal of sparking division and conflict. These extreme posts take advantage of the social media algorithms (算法), which are designed to heighten engagement Meanwhile, people seeking to influence others put things to more and more extreme positions. The result is apparent. Rather than most people having balanced views with fewer people holding extreme views, fewer and fewer people are in the middle.

What can be done? Skepticism about social media recommendations matters. Keep on a more deliberate path to information and avoid just clicking on whatever is recommended. Second, consider supporting efforts to require social media platforms to offer users a choice of algorithms for recommendations. Most importantly, invest more time in interacting with friends and family off social media. Probably, you’ll be far off a constructed track toward extremes.

24. What does the passage mainly talk about?

A. Social media can put people’s privacy at risk.

B. Advertisements in mass media can influence people a lot.

C. Social media advertisements can drive people to extremes.

D. Advertisements account for damaged relation among family and friends.

25. Which of the flowing employs “customized advertising techniques”?

A. Advertising on TV to promote the sales of a new product.

B. Advertising on apps to sell tailored political ideas individually.

C. Advertising in the newspaper to publicize a government policy.

D. Advertising in elevators to raise the public awareness of safety.

26. What does the writer advise readers to do?

A. Refuse to get exposed to all the social media.

B. Manage to master the social media algorithms.

C. Interact more with family and friends for their advice.

D. Hold a careful attitude to what is proposed by social media.

C

It’s hard to imagine what Earth might look like in 2500. But a co-action between science and art is offering an unsetting window into how ongoing climate change might transform now-familiar land features into foreign landscapes over the following centuries.

These visualizations—of a dried-up Amazon rainforest and some other places—stress why researchers need to push climate predictions long past the habitual 2100, environmental social scientist Christopher Lyon and colleagues argued.

The effects of past and present greenhouse gas emissions (排放) will stay for centuries. To visualize what that future world might look like, researchers considered three possible levels—low, medium and high emissions as used in past reports—and predicted changes all the way to 2500.

For all but the lowest-mission assumption, which is roughly in line with limiting global warming to “well under” 2 degrees Celsius relative to preindustrial times as approved by the 2015 Paris Agreement, the average global temperature continues to increase until 2500, the team found. For the highest-emissions temperatures increase by about 2.2 degrees by 2100 and about 4.6 by 2500. That results in “major restructuring of the world’s eco-system”, they say.

The team then co-acted with James McKay, an artist and science communicator at the University of Leeds, to bring the data to life. Based on their predictions, McKay created a series of detailed paintings representing different global landscapes now and in 2500.

The goal of images is to visualize the future in such a way that it feels more urgent, real and close—and, perhaps, to offer a bit of hope that humans can still adapt. “To turn over the trend, we need to think about this problem as a global civilization,” Lyon says. “We wanted to show that, despite the climate people have moved into, people have figured out ways to exist in the climate.”

27. Why do they conduct the co-actions mentioned in Paragraph 1?

A. To visualize how climate change may shape the future world.

B. To prove the necessity to make climate predictions as far as 2100.

C. To predict the possible land features of the earth in the year of 2500.

D. To picture present effects greenhouse gas emissions have on the earth.

28. What do we know about Lyon and his team?

A. They abandoned some traditional levels of emissions.

B. They assumed high emissions may reshape the eco-system.

C. They mainly focused on how to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

D. They got tally different results from those approved by the Paris Agreement.

29. How did James McKay contribute to the project?

A. He argued for the prediction made by the team.

B. He travelled around to paint detailed global landscapes.

C. He put forward some measures to deal with climate change.

D. He helped to visualize the research results through detailed images.

30. What is the text?

A. News review B. A research paper C. Science news D. An interview journal

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。选项中有两项为多余选项。

Most of us, at some point in our lives, have looked in the mirror and decided we need a thorough image transformation.    31    But is there a way to set realistic, useful fitness goals that will keep you motivated in a workout? Follow the steps below.

   32    Keep in mind that exercise alone won’t change your body shape. If you are looking for major fat loss, you will have to look at diet, too. “People underestimate the amount of effort physical transformations take,” says Helen Davis, sports psychologist. She advises focusing on positive fitness goals instead rather than aesthetic (美学的) goals that require extreme lifestyle changes.

Next, start small and build up. According to Davis, something straightforward, such as a press-up, is a better bet than aiming for a triathlon right off the bat.    33    When you have mastered a perfect press-up, set a new goal of five press-ups in a row, then 10, then 20. “Focusing just on that end goal can be problematic.” she added.

Choose something you enjoy. If you don’t like something, you won’t give 100%,    34    Keeping score can also be a good idea. “When I set goals with athletes, I look at three types of goals,” says Davis. Outcome goals are big-ticket achievements. A performance goal helps you assess whether you are on your way. Progress goals are day-to-day activities.    35  

Always reward yourself for achieving your goals, however small. “Even if just walking through the door of your gym is your first goal, you’ve achieved it - so well done,” says Davis,

A. Think about the goals not to make.

B. Consider what is important to you.

C. She also suggests having a series of goals.

D. Monitor these goals you’ve set to keep on track day to day.

E. The main reason people fail is that they just focus on the final they want.

F. Training with a good friend can keep you on track, when the motivation slips.

G. If we don’t achieve a desired six-pack stomach in weeks, we fall off the intended track.

阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容（1个单词）或括号内单词的正确形式。

Artists might have sunk into a state    56    they forgot themselves, didn’t need to think and lost track of time, and inspirations would just “flow out”. Such    57    state of total involvement and    58    (effort) concentration is called “flow”.

The benefits of being in the flow state stretch beyond the experience itself. Flow    59    (associate) with subjective happiness, satisfaction with life and inner peace. At work, it’s linked to productivity motivation and responsibility. Fortunately, flow is not unique    60    artists. In fact, we all can experience flow whenever we are fully devoted to our work or hobbies or relationships. Here are some ways to trigger it.

First, create best conditions. The most desirable environment    61    (vary) from person to person, so you will need to experiment    62    (find) what works best for you. Second, decide on a proper activity. You need to engage in activities that are meaningful, that you find challenging and for which you have the skills    63    (require) to come out as winners. Last but not least, stay highly aware of yourself. Practice    64    (stay) highly aware of your breath, your presence, and your thoughts, and you will be completely yourself. Gradually the world around melts away. You will be already in the flow state    65    you know it.

第二节  读后续写（满分25分）

阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。

The paper on my desk was yellow, with straight blue lines stretching across it. The lines repeated themselves all the way down the page. I counted them. Twenty-six straight lines ran across the paper. The yellow color reminded me of sunshine. In summer the sun is bright yellow like that, and the sky is blue like those lines. I loved blue — blue is for getting lost in...

“You haven’t written a word yet, have you?” Miss Perry had found me out. I hung my head, as in past years, and gave her the lines I’d given previous teachers.

“I don’t feel like it.”

The truth was that I wanted to write about something different. “Write about Your Best Friend,” demanded the assignment on the board. I didn’t have a best friend. I had a few friends, but I didn’t want to claim any of them as my “best” because I was afraid they might pick someone else. What if I picked a “best” friend and then someone different, who thought I was their best friend, heard my paragraph read aloud and then never spoke to me again? It was a stupid topic. I was disappointed in Miss Perry for choosing it.

I knew Miss Perry must have heard about me from my other teachers. I had already prepared myself for another year of listening to teachers scold me. I was only nine years old, but my ears had been dull to the voices of my elders. My teachers, my parents, and the school principal had all given me the “What are we supposed to do with you?” speech. That was probably what Miss Perry was about to say, too.

注意：

1. 所续写短文的词数应为150左右；

2. 至少使用5个短文中标有下划线的关键词语；

3. 续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好；

Possible version

Dear John,

I’m glad to learn a picture exhibition featuring the Chinese Spring Festival is to be held in your school. It will be another bridge which helps enhance cultural understanding between the two countries.

The Spring Festival has a long history, and varies from area to area, which deserves to be fully reflected in the exhibition. The fact that people celebrate the festival in diverse ways, some traditional, some modern, will surely arouse the interest of adolescents. Additionally, twelve Chinese zodiac signs are likely to be appealing too.

May the exhibition be successful!

Yours,

Li Hua

One possible version:

Paragraph 1:

However, there was something different about Miss Perry. “What do you want to do, then?” she smiled, tenderly staring at me with deep blue watery eyes. What? My previous teachers would scold me or send me to the principal’s office. Miss Perry, however, stood in front of my desk and kept her soft gaze on my face. Without a word, I lowered my head to avoid her eyes. “You just think what it is that you want to write about? Then, come to share with me, and we’ll make some arrangements that you can live with. Fair enough?” She patted me on the back. No teacher had touched me before.

Paragraph 2:

I bet I was touched. Automatically, I raised my head and caught sight of her walking back to her desk. Wondering what to make of her, I received another glance. A sense of something different attacked. I looked out of the window. The trees, the rain, everything was in sight. Inspired, I rose from the seat. “I want to study the weather outside.” “You really like that? But promise to write down what you learn on that blank paper. Deal?” “Deal!” All that afternoon I studied clouds, winds and the rain. Amazingly, a rainbow hung above like an upside-down smile. For the first time in years, I was really concentrating on my school work.

What do you do when you read a really good book? Do you like to talk about it? Then, it is a good idea to join a book club. (17)

In a book club, everyone first decides on a book to read. Then everyone reads it at the same time. When everyone has finished the book, you can get together and discuss it. Perhaps the best thing about a book club is that you can hear different people’s points of view. (18) Or, you might realize something about the story that you have not thought about.

Joining a book club is also a great way to meet new people. However, when you are looking for a book club to join, it is important to choose the right one. (19) Make sure that the people in the group like the same kind of books that you do. And make sure that the people in your group read at the same speed as you do. If you read fast, you do not want to wait weeks and weeks for your friends to finish. And if you read slowly, you do not want to miss the meeting because you have not finished the book. Also, you do not want to go to a meeting if you have not finished the book because it could ruin the ending for you when people discuss it. (20)
