I suffered from mental illness and depression when I was younger, and it totally affected my teenage years. But after a long struggle, I found a hobby that changed my life.

My depression (抑郁症) really kicked in after my parents moved to the UK when I was about 11 years old. Having to get used to life in a foreign country was very difficult. The friends I knew were gone, and the changes in my environment led to my depression. I had problems in many parts of my life, which made it impossible for me to carry on.

At that time, I didn’t understand that depression was an illness. I remember a particular day when I couldn’t find enough strength to get myself home from playing in the park— it felt like I was carrying the world on my shoulders.

Other times, I even thought about killing myself— I just felt so trapped. I never really reached out for help (寻求帮助) either, as I felt that there wasn’t anyone who could have helped with my situation.

What turned my life around, however, was discovering street dancing. I was introduced to it by a friend, and I started taking classes at a studio in London. After a few weeks, I began to go out and meet a lot of other dancers to practice and train with them on a regular basis. It gave me a purpose, and eventually the happiness I gained from it helped me manage my depression. The dancing helped me get my life back, focus on my studies, and get through university.

My advice to anyone who might be going through something like I was is to reach out for help. The thing about life is that it changes, and you never know what might come your way. If someone had said to me during those dark moments that I would have gone on to achieve the things I have, I wouldn’t have ever believed it.

Just take each day as it comes, and remember that there’s always someone, or something, out there to help you.

4. How did the author deal with his depression at first?

A. He turned to his old friends for help.  B. He talked about it with his parents.

C. He put up with it by himself.  D. He read many articles about it.

5. How did street dancing benefit the author?

A. It helped him find a good job.

B. It taught him how to control his emotions perfectly.

C. It let him find many true friends.

D. It cheered him up and made him feel positive.

6. What does the author suggest people do when they feel down?

A. Always be confident in themselves.  B. Find someone or something to rescue them.

C. Wait for help to come patiently.  D. Accept everything that life sends their way.

7. How might the author feel about his future?

A. Hopeful.  B. Fearful.  C. Satisfied.  D. Uncertain.

C

E-Sports (electronic sports), short for electronic sports, is one of the growing industries in the world, with prizes totaling around $25 million up for grabs in some tournaments. E-Sports are professional multiplayer video game competitions. Any video game with a strong competitive (竞争的) element is considered e-Sports. The competition models itself after traditional professional sports in several ways: it uses corresponding tournament formats, involves player contracts, and is governed by regulations. The athletes who compete in e-Sports competitions are gamers.

The history of e-Sports dates back to 1972 when some Stanford University students competed in the Intergalactic Space War Olympics for the opportunity to win a one-year subscription to the Rolling Stone Magazine. E-Sports pretty much continued on the rather quiet path until the 80s when competitions like the Space Invaders Championship shot them to the spotlight. 2002 marked the beginning of a new era for the sport and laid the foundation (基础) for what e-Sports would become thanks to the release of the Xbox live, which brought online play to consoles. Halo II became the first game to be shown on national television for Major League Gaining in 2004, paving the way for e-Sports to become a global phenomenon.

Today, e-Sports are growing at a rapid pace thanks to advance in technology and the arrival of streaming services like Twitch which have exposed video game competitions to a new audience due to their extensive reach.

To understand how much impact (影响) Twitch has made, data (数据) from gaming analyst group Newzoo show that e-Sports global audience increased 43 percent from 204 million to 292 million between 2014 and 2016. Interestingly, this coincides (—致) with Amazon’s acquisition of Twitch in 2014 and its effort to make the competition a spectator sport.

8. What do we know about e-Sports?

A. They are strongly competitive.  B. They spread worldwide overnight.

C. They totally differ from traditional ones.  D. The athletes in the sports are programmers.

9. What is the main idea of Paragraph 2?

A. The origin of e-Sports.  B. The variety of e-Sports.

C. The advantages of e-Sports.  D. The development of E-Sport

10. How does the author feel about e-Sport’s future?

A. Doubtful.  B. Uncertain.  C. Hopeful.  D. Worried.

11. What is the purpose of quoting (引用) data in the last paragraph?

A. To introduce Newzoo.  B. To conduct a research.

C. To show the influence of Twitch.  D. To arouse the audience’s interest.

D

Life will probably be very different in 2050. First of all, it seems that TV channels will have vanished by 2050. Instead, people will choose a programme from a “menu” and a computer will send the programme directly to the television. By 2050, music, films, programmes, newspapers and books will come to us in the similar way.

In many places, agriculture is developing quickly and people are growing fruit and vegetables for export. This uses a lot of water. Therefore, there could be serious shortages of water. Some scientists predict that water could be the cause of wars if we don’t act now.

In the future, cars will run on new, clean fuels (燃料) and they will go very fast. Cars will have computers to control the speed and there won’t be any accidents. Today, many cars have computers that tell drivers exactly where they are. By 2050, the computer will control the car and drive it to your destination. Also, by 2050, space planes will fly people from Los Angeles to Tokyo in just two hours.

Some big companies now prefer to use robots that do not ask for pay rises or go on strike, and work 24 hours a day. They are also easy to control. And they never argue with people. They can be easily used in a variety of places—factories, schools, offices, hospitals, shops and homes.

Scientists will have discovered how to control genes (基因). Scientists have already produced clones (克隆) of animals. By 2050, scientists will be able to produce clones of people and decide how they look and how they behave. Scientists will be able to do these things, but should they?

12. Which of the following best explains the underlined word “vanished” in Paragraph 1?

A. Settled.  B. Spread.  C. Disappeared.  D. Decreased.

13. What does Paragraph 4 intend to show?

A. Robots can work in different places.  B. Robots have much to be improved.

C. Robots work for humans for free.  D. Robots have many advantages.

14. What does the author want to express in the last paragraph?

A. He probably disagrees with the idea of human cloning.

B. He is looking forward to using of cloning technology.

C. The scientists have already discovered how to control genes.

D. The scientists will face many difficulties of controlling genes.

15. What is the best title for the text?

A. High-tech Cars   B. Life in the Future

C. Is Cloning Really Good?  D. Are You Ready for the Future?

A long time ago, people lived happily under the rule of a king. The people of the kingdom were very happy as they led a very easy life because they are rich and have nothing to worry about.

Once, the king decided to visit historically important places in the distance. He decided to travel on foot to interact with (互动) his people.

People of distant places were very happy to have a conversation with their king. They were proud that their king had a kind heart.

After several weeks of travel, the king returned to the palace. He was quite happy that he had visited many places and seen his people leading a rich life.

However，he had one regret. He had intolerable (无法忍受的) pain in his feet as it was his first trip on foot walking a long distance. He complained to his ministers (大臣) that the roads weren’t comfortable and that they were very hard and hurt his feet He said that he was very much worried about the people who had to walk along those roads as it would be painful for them too!

Considering all this, he ordered his people to cover (If) the roads in the whole country with leather (皮革) so that the people of his kingdom could walk comfortably.

The king’s ministers were surprised to hear his order as it would mean that thousands of cows would have to be killed in order to get plenty of leather. And it would also cost a lot of money.

A wise minister came to the king.________________________________________________________________

Paragraph 1:

A wise minister came to the king. Meanwhile, he said that he had another idea. "Instead of covering the roads with leather, why don't you just have a piece of leather cut in appropriate shape to cover your feet? It is easier to make shoes than to cover the roads." said the minister. The king was very surprised by his suggestion and liked his smart idea. He ordered a pair of leather shoes for himself and requested all his countrymen also to wear shoes.

Paragraph 2:

The minister made the king happy and began to find the way to make people feel more comfortable while walking on the road. Then he had people start to use leather to make shoes. At the beginning, it was difficult to make the right shape for each individual person. Then they solved the problem by making the models of different size. Finally, everyone was very happy with new shoes on their feet and no longer felt pain while walking along the hard road. Life couldn't get any better!
