There are hundreds of things which were invented by the Chinese.AlcoholShocked? It was because when they said alcohol I thought about either the US or the UK. China had never crossed my mind. In China, alcohol was made by two legendary persons named Yi Di and Du Kang who belonged to the Xia Dynasty. This period was about 2000 BC—1600 BC.Research says that in ancient China, beer with 4% alcoholic content was widely consumed by people.TeaChina is the proud inventor of tea which was first drunk by Shen Nong, a Chinese emperor around 2737 BC.Tea production was rapidly developed, making tea a popular drink during the Tang and Song Dynasties.The Mechanical ClockHave you ever wondered what on earth we would be doing without any idea of time? A clock really is an invention without which things were incomplete. The credit of making the first mechanical clock goes to ancient China. The first mechanical clock was invented by Yi Xing in the Tang Dynasty. This was during 618 and 907.Silk FabricSilk, the favorite fabric of many girls out there, is also a Chinese invention. Although we all know that silk is made by silkworms, it was Chinese people who first invented a way to harvest the silk and then use it to make clothes. The oldest silk which has been found so far is in Henan Province and dates back to 3630 BC.21．We can learn from Paragraph 2 that ________.A．people in the US like alcoholB．beer was popular in the Xia DynastyC．Yi Di and Du Kang invented alcohol by accidentD．the author didn't know alcohol is a Chinese invention22．The author asks the question in Paragraph 4 to show ________.A．ancient Chinese inventors were wiser B．many things in our lives are incompleteC．ancient Chinese people never wasted time D．the invention of the mechanical clock is important23．Which of the following invention has a longer history?A．Tea. B．Alcohol. C．Silk fabric. D．The mechanical clock.B(CNN)—A 12yearold girl who had a feeling that she might be quite clever has taken a test and proved she was absolutely right.Lydia Sebastian achieved the top score of 162 on Mensa's Cattell Ⅲ B paper, showing she has a higher IQ than wellknown geniuses Albert Einstein and Stephen Hawking. The comparison doesn't sit_well_with the British student, who's currently in Year 8 at a selective girl's grammar school in Essex, England.“I don't think I can be compared to such great intellectuals as Albert Einstein and Stephen Hawking. They've achieved so much. I don't think it's right，” Lydia told CNN.To explain Lydia's mark's level, the top adult score in the Cattell Ⅲ B test，which mainly tests verbal(语言) reasoning, is 161.A top 2% score—which allows entry to Mensa, the club for those with high IQs—would be 148 or over. Lydia scored 162, placing her in the top 1% of the population.Lydia's not quite sure what she wants to do when she leaves school, although she's leaning toward something based on Maths, because it's one of her favorite subjects. “All I'm going to do is work as hard as I can, and see where that gets me，” she said.24．The reason why Lydia wanted to have an IQ test was that ________.A．her parents strongly wanted her to do so B．she felt that she might have a high IQC．all people around thought that she was smart D．the grammar school advised her to do so25．Which of the following can best take the place of the underlined phrase in the second paragraph?A．Be connected with. B．Be accepted by. C．Be satisfied with. D．Be refused by.26．What is Lydia's plan about the future?A．She has the possibility of doing something on Maths in the future.B．She doesn't have to work hard with her high IQ.C．She is quite sure about what to do in the future.D．She will drop out of the grammar school.27．It can be implied from the passage that ________.A．no one has achieved a higher IQ than Lydia B．only adults with high IQs can enter MensaC．whoever has a high IQ can enter Mensa D．Mary whose IQ score is 150 can enter Mensa CVijay Gupta is known to classical music lovers across the United States. He serves as first violinist for the Los Angeles Philharmonic. In that job, he often plays to large crowds, including many very rich people. When he is not performing, he organizes concerts for homeless people. “They have reminded me why I became a musician，” he said.Last week, Gupta was recognised 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 “genius 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 D. and Katherine T. MacArthur Foundation. It awards grants(补助金) to people whose work it considers exceptional and that “inspires hope in us all”. Gupta said he got the idea for Street Symphony while teaching Nathaniel Ayers, a trained musician whose mental illness led to homelessness.The 31yearold 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 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 US justice system.47yearold Sandefur created the first national mapping of civil 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. Sandefur noted that a lot of attention has been paid to problems with the criminal justice system, but more attention must be paid to the civil side of the law, which also affects millions of people.28．Why did Gupta win the award?A．For his achievements in classical music. B．For performing for large crowds.C．For organising a group playing for the homeless. D．For the friendship with Nathaniel Ayers.29．What do we know about MacArthur Fellowship?A．It is founded by the government.B．It offers $625,000 to 25 winners in 2018.C．It allows the winners to use the money freely.D．It awards people who make great contributions to society.30．What was the extraordinary thing that Sandefur did?A．She made it easier to get legal help for the poor. B．She made the legal system fairer.C．She paid more attention to the criminal justice system. D．She offered legal aids to the poor freely.31．Which can be the best title for the passage?A．Grants Winners, Inspiring the Poor B．The City Homeless, in Need of HelpC．Vijay Gupta, an Extraordinary Violinist D．MacArthur Foundation, Awarding Exceptional WorkDSpending time online is normal behaviour for teenagers. But too much Internet use by teens—or too little, for that matter—might be related to depression, a new study finds.The findings, reported in the journal of Pediatrics, do not mean that the Internet is to blame. For one, teens in the study who spent no time online were also at increased risk of depression symptoms. Instead, the researchers say that both heavy Internet use, and nonuse, could serve as signals that a teenager is having a hard time.For the study, Dr PierreAndre Michaud and his colleagues at the University of Lausanne, Switzerland, surveyed 7,200 individuals aged 16 to 20 about their Internet use.Those who were online more than two hours per day were considered “heavy” Internet users, while those online anywhere from several times per week to two hours per day were considered “regular” users.The teenagers also answered a number of healthrelated questions, including some standard questions about “depressive tendencies” that gauge(判定) how often a person feels sad or hopeless. Compared with regular Internet users, the study found, kids who were heavy users or nonusers were more likely to be depressed or very depressed.Among male teens, heavy users and nonusers were both around onethird more likely to have a high depression score, compared to “regular” users. Among girls, heavy Internet users had an 86 percent greater chance of depression, while nonusers had a 46 percent greater likelihood compared to regular users.That was with factors like family income and any chronic health problems taken into account.Since teenagers typically go online to contact with friends, the researchers speculate(推测) that those who are never online may be more socially _isolated.32．How long are those who are online per day considered “heavy” Internet users?A．More than two hours. B．More than eight hours.C．More than twelve hours. D．More than ten hours.33．What's the purpose of Dr Michaud and his colleagues' study?A．To know the actual number of teenagers online.B．To know the actual time of teenagers online.C．To know the influence of study online on teenagers.D．To know the relationship between the Internet use and depression.34．What's the meaning of the underlined word “isolated” in the last paragraph?A．Independent. B．United. C．Separated. D．Capable.35．According to the accounts of the sixth paragraph, what can we conclude?A．Nonusers of Internet aren't likely to be depressed.B．Among girls, heavy Internet users are more likely to suffer depression than regular users.C．Heavy users will lead to death unless limited.D．Nonusers have more possibility to be depressed than heavy users.第二节（共5小题:每小题2.5分，满分12.5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。其中有两项为多余选项。The holiday season is supposed to be the most festive and fun time of the year, but all those plans and expectations of joy can turn tougher and more stressful than they sound.This is especially true for those of us who struggle with mental illness._36__ Sometimes you're forced to spend time with family you rarely see and don't always get along with.Or you are off from work, with more time to think troubling thoughts.Or you are put into party situations that you don't like.When you have a routine, it's easier to manage whatever mental struggles you may face, and when that routine is broken, it can trigger(引发) things you may not be ready to face. __37__ It was during the holidays that I hit a low moment and, with the help of my mother, decided to seek help for my eating disorder.During the holidays，I often feel as if I were supposed to be everywhere with everyone. __38__ To fight this, I've developed a mantra(咒语): it's not selfish to take time for yourself.Take a walk in nature.Talk to a friend you trust.Sit out one of the holiday gatherings in favor of some personal time. __39__ Trying to spend all of your time pleasing everyone else is not only exhausting—it's impossible.

One night I took a fare at 2：30 a．m. When I arrived, the building was dark except for a single light in a ground floor window. I walked to the door and knocked. “Just a minute，” answered a weak, elderly voice. I could hear something being dragged across the floor.After a long pause, the door opened. A small woman in her 80s stood before me. She was wearing a print dress and a pillbox hat, like somebody out of a 1940s movie. “Would you carry my bag out to the car？” she said. I took the suitcase to the car, and then returned to assist the woman. She held my arm and we walked slowly toward my car.She kept thanking me for my kindness. “It's nothing，” I told her. “I just try to treat my passengers the way I would want my mother treated.”“Oh, you're such a good man，” she said. When we got in the car, she gave me an address, and then asked, “Could you drive through downtown？”I looked in the rearview mirror(后视镜). Her eyes were shining. “I don't have any family left，” she continued. “The doctor says I don't live very long.” I quietly reached over and shut off the meter. “What route would you like me to take？” I asked.For the next two hours，we drove through the city. She showed me the building where she had once worked as an operator. We drove through the neighborhood where she and her husband had lived. Sometimes she'd ask me to slow in front of a particular building or corner and would sit staring into the darkness, saying nothing.As the first ray of the sun appeared, she suddenly said, “I'm tired. Let's go now.” We drove in silence to the address she had given me. It was a small hospice(临终关怀医院)，with a driveway that passed under an entrance hall. Two nurses came out to the car as soon as we pulled up.注意：1.所续写短文的词数应为150左右；2．续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好。Paragraph 1：I opened the trunk and took the small suitcase to the door..________________________________________________________________________Paragraph 2：Almost without thinking, I bent and gave her a hug._______________________________________________________________________
